ma che meraviglia!!!! la natura รจ davvero sorprendente! pensa che proprio oggi una coppia di strani uccelli si รจ posata sui rami degli alberi del mio giardino erano bellissimi e colorati ma non so cosa fossero, spero ornino domani, erano troppo in alto per fotografarli ๐
I see quite a few of them, but they generally move around so fast that they’re difficult to shoot. Love the video of his calls. (Even listened to the 45 min. of other bird calls that came up as a suggestion.) ๐
I didn’t manage to open the video but wanted to send you a comment all the same……
(Then , as I could listen to his voice, I realized that I had commented too early…..)
Almost forty years ago I spent the summer in surveying camp between Golden, CO and the foothills. I spent my day listening to the calls of red-wings. I do love their call. ๐
Sylvia, that’s one of the best photos of a Red-winged blackbird I’ve seen. The angle and the white background really do him proud.
Thank you so much. He’s such a handsome chap isn’t he? ๐
Great photo and thanks for including the video – birds are fascinating!
Have never seen one like him before Sylvia. What a beauty!
This was the first time I’d seen one. ๐
I have always liked red winged blackbirds, Sylvia. I am a bird lover which comes to me naturally. ๐
Me too. I suppose with a name like ‘Robin’, you should be a bird lover. ๐

Yes, there are truly so many wondrous creatures, Annalisa. I hope your birds return so that you can get some photos and maybe identify them. ๐
I had no idea there was such a creature. Not shy and retiring, is he? ๐
No he certainly isn’t the shy type, Jo. ๐
What a beautiful capture! I’ve been trying (without success) to capture a red-winged blackbird. They never cooperate!
Thank you. This one seemed to be in no hurry. ๐
Stunning ๐
Thanks, Sherri. ๐
Thanks a lot for sharing this post, Sylvia ๐
Glad you enjoyed, Sreejith. ๐
Wie schรถn die Bilder schรถner Vogel liebe Grรผรe von mir und einen glรผcklichen Tag eine groรe Umarmung Gislinde
Thanks so much, Gislinde. ๐
He has perfect pitch. ๐
Well, you should know! ๐ Thanks, glad you approve.
that was pure joy listening to him through my earphones. Nothing nicer for me than waking to hear the birds in the garden
Thanks, Ruth. Glad you enjoyed his song. ๐
That red on black makes for a stunning bird.
Yes, it certainly does. Thanks for your visit here. ๐
Always love to see them when they get back here in the spring…but, first, I hear their excited chatter ๐
Thanks, Annette. I’ve never seen more than one at a time here. but I can imagine the noise that a crowd of them can make. :).
Beautiful design. A small patch of red with the black background.
Glad you enjoyed seeing him, YC. ๐
Lovely.
“Blackbird singing in the dead of night…”
๐
Thank you. Love that song, but it’s far too short. ๐
Put it on auto-repeat…:)

I see quite a few of them, but they generally move around so fast that they’re difficult to shoot. Love the video of his calls. (Even listened to the 45 min. of other bird calls that came up as a suggestion.) ๐
Thanks, Gunta. I also sat listening to at least a dozen other bird calls. ๐
Beautiful bird..I have never seen it before.
Thanks, Marylou. Glad you enjoyed the photo. ๐
Gorgeous! Love how he puffs up and sings from his “diaphragm.”
Yes, just like professional. ๐
One of my favorite birds I see them in the spring here. Great capture
Thanks, Lisa. I’d love to see them more often. ๐
What smart and colourful epaulettes he has!
Yes, they really brighten up the black. ๐
I didn’t manage to open the video but wanted to send you a comment all the same……
(Then , as I could listen to his voice, I realized that I had commented too early…..)
Thanks so much. I’m happy that you listened to his song. ๐
He shows pride and self-esteem …,
And I would like to hear his voice,too!
What a dash of colors too! ๐
Isn’t he gorgeous? ๐
I love red-winged blackbirds.
Almost forty years ago I spent the summer in surveying camp between Golden, CO and the foothills. I spent my day listening to the calls of red-wings. I do love their call. ๐
They’re really handsome birds. We have a few here in Florida, but I don’t see them very often.
pretty boy!
Yes, he sure is. ๐
Oh he’s so beautiful, Sylvia!
Yes he is, and he knows it. ๐
Wow! What a beautiful bird. He’s quite the singer too! ๐
Thanks, Jill. Yes, he’s very vocal indeed. ๐
